Dropped ? Optimism ftw. :thup:

No it's not
They both come under section 5 of the Road traffic act 1988. You're only defence is to say that you had no intention of driving the car, get your mate in as a witness to back you up and hope the judge believes you.

barnsley - were you breathalysed?
Looking at the sentence guidelines - in charge/unfit through drink with excess alcohol, summary offence only, maximum penalty level 4 fine or 3 months custody. 10 points mandatory on licence and consider disqualification for contributory factors - resisting, refusing, uncooperative, consider rehabilitation course.
Average sentence - £360 fine, 10 points, possible rehabilitation course.
